#1 stated she needed her call light. LVN A put the call light on Resident #1's blanket within the resident's
reach.
During an interview on 05/01/2024 at 10:07 AM, LVN A stated two CNA's put Resident #1 to bed and that
the negative outcome for not having the call light in reach would be that the resident may need help and
could get hurt.
During an interview on 5/01/2024 at 10:15 AM, CNA B stated she and another aide forgot to put the call
light in Resident #1's reach. CNA B said that a possible negative outcome for not having a call light in reach
was that the resident could get hurt.
During an interview on 5/01/2024 at 10:20 AM, CNA C stated she and another aide had forgotten to put the
call light in Resident #1's reach. CNA C said the resident was a choking risk and couldn't get up on her
own; and that a possible negative outcome for not having a call light in reach was that Resident #1 could be
in trouble and not be able to call for help.
During an interview on 5/01/2024 at 11:20 AM, the DON stated that a possible negative outcome for a
resident not having their call light in reach would be that they wouldn't be able to call for help if they needed
it.
During an interview on 5/01/2024 at 11:20 AM, the DON was asked for a policy regarding accommodation
of needs.
During an interview on 5/01/2024 at 12:10 PM, the ADM stated that she called the Owner of the facility and
said that they do not have a call light or accommodation of needs policy and that it was just common sense.
